Attachments names have changed in the data/attachments/ directory

Question

Hello,
Any attachements of an issue has its name changed in the data/attachment/ directory.
For example, if an attachment is called "FILE20140807.doc", its name in the directory becomes "86383".

Do you have an idea of how to keep the original file name ?

Thanks.

I'm afraid I know little more than "download the source code and look for the .java files by hand", because I avoid messing with the core of Jira as much as I possibly can.

Thanks, we don't upgrade often, it is our first upgrade in 6 years.

Anyway, do you know where we can find the attachments handling part of JIRA ?

Well, your choices are now

1.  Rewrite the attachments handling part of Jira (seriously not recommended because you won't be supported and you'll have to re-test and re-do the development on every upgrade.  And it's not a minor tweak)

2.  Get your external application to read Jira over REST to get the SQL files

3.  Integrate the external application more tightly by writing a plugin that can do the work instead of relying on externals
